FC Midtjylland face a key Superliga assignment on Sunday at 14:00 as they host Lyngby BK at the MCH Arena. Coming off a midweek defeat, victory is the clear objective for a side sitting firmly in second place with 25 points.
The Wolves suffered a 0-1 loss to St. Truiden on Wednesday, with Frans Dhia Putros Soelle scoring the only goal for the Belgian visitors. That result interrupted a positive spell which saw Midtjylland secure a 2-1 away win at Viborg earlier in the week thanks to goals from Rasmus Kristensen and Philip Billing. Their recent form reads two wins, two draws and one loss from the last five matches.
Team news and expected lineup
In the most recent outing against St. Truiden, the team started in a 3-1-4-2 formation with Nordin Bakker in goal and a defence of Kristensen, Ousmane Diao and Mads Bech Sørensen. The midfield was controlled by Pedro Bravo, David Martínez Morales, Hong Hyun-seok and Kjell Wätjen, while Sofus Johannesen and Julius Emefile led the line. Mileta Rajović also started. The season's top scorer, F. Etim with five goals, will be a key attacking threat.
The opponents Lyngby arrive in Herning following a thrilling 3-3 draw with FC Nordsjælland last weekend. They started that match with D. Kochen in goal and a back four of O. Buur, M. Fischer, M. Garananga and R. Tytens. The two sides last met in August, playing out a 1-1 draw. Lyngby currently occupy 12th place in the Superliga table.
